<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>These functions implement Montgomery multiplication. They are used automatically when <a href="../man3/BN_mod_exp.html">BN_mod_exp(3)</a> is called with suitable input, but they may be useful when several operations are to be performed using the same modulus.</p>

<p>BN_MONT_CTX_new() allocates and initializes a <b>BN_MONT_CTX</b> structure.</p>

<p>BN_MONT_CTX_set() sets up the <i>mont</i> structure from the modulus <i>m</i> by precomputing its inverse and a value R.</p>

<p>BN_MONT_CTX_copy() copies the <b>BN_MONT_CTX</b> <i>from</i> to <i>to</i>.</p>

<p>BN_MONT_CTX_free() frees the components of the <b>BN_MONT_CTX</b>, and, if it was created by BN_MONT_CTX_new(), also the structure itself. If <b>mont</b> is NULL, nothing is done.</p>

<p>BN_mod_mul_montgomery() computes Mont(<i>a</i>,<i>b</i>):=<i>a</i>*<i>b</i>*R^-1 and places the result in <i>r</i>.</p>

<p>BN_from_montgomery() performs the Montgomery reduction <i>r</i> = <i>a</i>*R^-1.</p>

<p>BN_to_montgomery() computes Mont(<i>a</i>,R^2), i.e. <i>a</i>*R. Note that <i>a</i> must be non-negative and smaller than the modulus.</p>

<p>For all functions, <i>ctx</i> is a previously allocated <b>BN_CTX</b> used for temporary variables.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>BN_MONT_CTX_new() returns the newly allocated <b>BN_MONT_CTX</b>, and NULL on error.</p>

<p>BN_MONT_CTX_free() has no return value.</p>

<p>For the other functions, 1 is returned for success, 0 on error. The error codes can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>

<h1 id="WARNINGS">WARNINGS</h1>

<p>The inputs must be reduced modulo <b>m</b>, otherwise the result will be outside the expected range.</p>
